> People are entitled to build whatever they want on their property

Not in a world where zoning and nuisance laws exist, with good reasons.

No one's proposing to build a sewage treatment plant on this land. It's just more housing, in a city where people go without a roof over their head because it's too expensive. There's no "nuisance" here, only landowners trying to assert rights over their neighbors' property.
